Original Sin
Infantree Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never mean to
I never mean to lie
But I still do it to you
I still do, don't I?
But it doesn't make a difference to us
No, it doesn't make a difference when it comes to us
Because someday you'll say why'd I go away
Time that we had before things went so bad
I still follow
There are things you do
And there are things you don't
When it comes to love, you should know what you want
But it doesn't make a difference to us
No, it doesn't make a difference when it comes to us
Thoughts mean nothing
These thoughts mean nothing
And someday you'll say why'd I go away
Long time, we fall asleep, we recall
Time that we had before things went so bad
I still follow
The lyrics of Infantree's "Original Sin" seem to be reflecting on a romantic relationship that has ended or is in the process of falling apart. The singer speaks of never intending to deceive their partner but admits to still doing so. They acknowledge that their actions "don't make a difference" between the two of them, as if they are both aware of the underlying issues in the relationship but unable to remedy them. The chorus, "Someday you'll say why'd I go away," implies a sense of regret on the singer's behalf, possibly realizing only in hindsight the things they could have done differently. The second verse includes a reflection on memories of a time when things were good between them, but this throws the current state of the relationship into sharper contrast. The line "Thoughts mean nothing, these thoughts mean nothing" suggests that the singer may be grappling with their own internal struggles, wondering if their flaws or doubts are the cause of the relationship's troubles.
Overall, the lyrics of "Original Sin" offer a bittersweet meditation on the complexities of relationships and the difficulties in understanding and reconciling our own emotions and behaviors with those of the people we love.

Well sadly, "hipsters" seem to be the only ones producing meaningful, original songs. Plus, most actually know how to play their instruments..

this is good stuff. i think there is more arrogance in hipster bashing than hipsters have.
